[Intro]
C C
[Verse 1]
C Tale as old as honey Am A moment everybody knows Gsus4 Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak Gsus4 Inside the walls of Jericho C I couldn't believe it Am How you could just stop wanting me Gsus4 You burnt down Easter Island Dm Gsus4 As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me
[Chorus]
Fsus2 Gsus4 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands C I've pleaded with the powers and their plans Gsus4 I tried to re-write it, but I can't C/B Fsus2 It's the history, the history of man Gsus4 She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb C She begs him, he says he doesn't understand Gsus4 She loves him more than anyone ever has Dm In the history, the history of man C It's the history of man
[Verse 2]
C You didn't even falter Am Didn't look back once, did you? Gsus4 So Samson blamed Delilah Gsus4 But given half the chance I, I would've made him weaker too
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Fsus2 Sirens sounded, trumpets blaring Dm Gsus4 You walked out, oh, without sweating
[Chorus]
Fsus2 Gsus4 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands C I've pleaded with the powers and their plans Gsus4 I tried to re-write it, but I can't C/B Fsus2 It's the history, the history of man Gsus4 She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb C She begs him, he says he doesn't understand Gsus4 She loves him more than anyone ever has in the history, the history-
[Bridge]
Dm He stole her youth and promised heaven Fsus2 The men start wars, yet Troy hates Helen Dm Women's hearts are lethal weapons Fsus2 Did you hold mine and feel threatened? Dm Hear my lyrics, taste my venom Gsus4 You are still my great obsession
[Chorus]
Fsus2 Gsus4 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands C I've pleaded with the powers and their plans Gsus4 I tried to re-write it, but I can't C/B Fsus2 It's the history, the history of man Gsus4 I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb C I beg you, and you don't understand Gsus4 I hold on, I try to hold your hand Am I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand Gsus4 So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have Gsus4 It's the history, the history of man
